====== Preparing folders ======

Platform4PHP needs three separate directories. A log directory, a temporary directory and a storage directory, all with full permissions for both the web server user and the cron job user (more about this later). 

The log directory is for common logs, the temporary directory is for temporary files and the storage directory is used for all file storage, for example when uploading and storing files.

In this setup I'll create/use the following directories:

  * **/var/log/people/** for the log directory.
  * **/var/tmp/** for the temporary files.
  * **/var/lib/people/storage/** for the storage directory.

That's it.
